A total of 15590 unique zebrafish EST clusters from two cDNA libraries have been identified. Most significantly, only 22% (3437) of the 15590 unique clusters matched 2805 (of 15200) clusters in the Danio rerio UniGene database, indicating that our EST set is complementary to the existing ESTs in the public database and will be invaluable in assisting the annotation of genes based on the upcoming zebrafish genome sequence. Blast search showed that 7824 of our unique clusters matched 6710 known or predicted proteins in the nonredundant database.

- Arabidopsis seeds germinate better with gibberellin (GA), and key genes GAI, RGA, RGL1, and RGL2 are involved in this process.
- RGL2 specifically regulates seed germination in response to GA, while GAI, RGA, and RGL1 do not affect this process.
- RGL2 levels increase quickly after seed soaking and then decrease, indicating it acts as a negative regulator for GA responses during germination, possibly integrating external and internal signals.
